So freakin' cool!
How about spread some fud in the speculation channel and not in someones thread who is actually trying to do something good for the community and actually produced something unique
I hope that doesn't mean that the idea is not open to any forms of criticism. I'm not here to do that though, however I do have some curiosity:
After purchase, are the coins intended to be traded hand-to-hand, as per regular currency? (of course I mean within a community of bitcoin aware individuals). If so, are the coins / codes tamper proof, so that any individual who receives one coin can instantly see that this coin has 1 BTC of value (not been used).
If not for hand-to-hand trading, would it be fair to assume that the coins be primarily for aesthetic and novelty purpose?
These are lovely, but how do we know that the manufacturer doesn't keep a copy of the keys and will spend them if they get very valuable?
[EDIT] I will probably buy some of these because bitbills has been MIA for awhile.

I can't find anything about mini private keys. Can you link to any sources?

The hologram was a nice touch. Looks good.

Wise man say, "Only a fool buy investment on downtrend with no present indication of future uptrend." Wise man also say, "Fool buy 1 dollar for 1 and 1/5 dollar, but smart man sell 1 dollar for 1 and 1/5 dollar."
Wise man additionally say, "Fallacy is not made truth by multiplied propagation, nor is truth made fallacy because no one will believe it."
Wise man further say, "Idea is good, but better idea is couple BTC code with useful goods. A birthday card with BTC code is better than BTC code alone."
Wise man finally say, "Man who becomes outraged at expressed opinion will not be outraged if he does not identify with contrasting opinion."
since you're so "wise" douche, lets make a bet. i'll bet you 100 BTC to be held in escrow that the price of BTC in USD terms one year from now will be higher than it is today.
Wise man say bet is inherently flawed.
Wise man see that if he wins, he does not win much. Wise man see that if he loses, he loses much more.
Wise man also doesn't want BTC value to plummet and instead wants BTC to succeed.
Wise man thinks you create non-sequiturs from what wise man say.
oh, one other thing, douche. you'll be happy to hear that i've already offered to buy 100 of these physical bitcoins from casascius. where's your conviction?

oh wise douche, let me rephrase. the bet to be 100 BTC OR $670 USD!
Wise man say bet is still inherently flawed. The payout is more for one than the other.
Besides, wise man doesn't bet. This why wise man profits.
no, you're just a paid shill with no convictions behind anything you say here on this forum. the bet is fair esp. since i've offered to denominate it in BTC or USD. so stop pretending to be wise, douche.
On the note of the physical coins can we pleas have either QR or bar codes so we can read them with smartphones?

Incidentally, who wants to wager if or when Casascius will be Bitcoin's Bernard von Nothaus?
Thinking of how to word it, and guessing what dates to use:

he doesnt use the word dollar anywhere and these dont resemble us coins at all.. so i doubt he will have problems.Thinking of how to word it, and guessing what dates to use:

These look awesome but...
Why would you buy this given the current state of the Bitcoin market/economy?

what state is that? btc coins have been low before, there is also nothing wrong with bitcoins being low. Bitcoins might have been priced way too high in the first place.
QUestion for you ooooo so wise one, do you think cassius got this idea last night and made these this morning?

This might be nice as an investment if there was a good indicator that your investment would give you any kind of return. I don't see good reason to believe this right now.
and that is your opinion, which is not shared by a very very very large ammount of people, including those of us who have made great profits investing in bitcoins. How about spread some fud in the speculation channel and not in someones thread who is actually trying to do something good for the community and actually produced something unique. Heck even if BTC was dying, i would buy one of these to keep. Plus they are great for promoting bitcoins which could change the market arround but you dont want to hear about that do you.
These would also be nice if I could take them and walk into a store and give them to a merchant to purchase goods. This just isn't possible unless you live around the corner from Meze Grill.

My conclusion: This is novel, awesome looking, and way before it's time, but in this case being 'way before it's time' is not in the interest of the consumer.
YOU OPINION, doesnt seem to matter to all these consumers in here.
Look if you dont want one, dont buy one, I dont see why you had to come up with all this FUD and opinionated crap. Do you actually see any problem with the coin that has to do with the coin and not BTC? anything worth actually complaining about besides "OMG THIS IS SO F'N STUPID BTC IS ABOUT TO DIE!!!" If everyone had attitudes like yours, we might as well all give up, cause BTC wouldnt go anywhere.
Like i said if you dont like it, dont buy one, if you want to complain bitcoin is dying, go do that in speculation, personally i think it is a great time to buy BTC and an even better time to buy and give out these coins. I dont think i would give these things out as promotional items if BTC was trading at $50 a coin.
Great job cassius and ignore the fear spreading fud'rs. It really takes a special person to go into someones tread trying to sell something and then rather complain about the product itself, complain about the state of the BTC market.
These are cool, would it be possible to replace the keys with something like a QR code(or include code and key)
